Good afternoon, Tranquility.
My name is John Watson, I'm one of the doctors working in your medical bay. I've got several things to talk to you about today, all of them important, so I hope you'll stick with me through it.
First off, many of you are aware that a death occurred during the jump. For those of you who have just arrived and aren't familiar with the term, a 'jump' is what happens when the ship is moving rapidly from one part of space to another. We make these once a month and they're believed to be the reason we end up here. I don't know the technical details about it -it's only a theory, really, from other passengers- so don't bother asking.
What I know about it is that your life depends on you being present in the medbay before every jump. The consequences are what happened to the deceased, who was trapped elsewhere in the ship during the jump and became crushed by the acceleration. I'm sorry I have to tell you about that, but I want you to realize that getting into the gravpouches is not optional. You get in one or you die.
[ There's a pause here, which may be for weight or for the fact John needs to collect himself once more. ]
An examination was performed on the deceased by myself and Doctor McCoy. We have done extensive tests and have found no drugs to be present in the system. So Hotspur's broadcast was a lucid one, and no one attempted to drug him to keep him from getting out of that shuttle. The cause of death matches with the expected consequences of a jump on an unprotected body.
We cannot say anything in regards to whether or not this incident was accidental or manufactured, but in respect to the body, there is no evidence of foul play.
If you have any questions about the examination, I'll take them.
Just a reminder now - from now on, we'll be reporting to the medbay an hour before the jump to make sure everyone's present and accounted for. You'll likely be sitting in the locker rooms, though, until we can get everyone sorted.
[ Again, a pause. This one is for a transition. ]
Second order of business is to tell you that medbay is short-staffed. We've got about six people to help about four hundred of you. We're looking for medical professionals that have come in through the jump as well as volunteers. If you'd like to come and help us out at medical, we're willing to train you. We're looking for those interested in full-time, part-time, and emergency volunteers.
I'm going to need all of our current medical staff to cue in to this broadcast, because it will be acting as our interview process.
If you think you're interested, keep listening. If not, this broadcast ends here.
[ And one more pause. ]
I'm not going to lie to you - being involved in the medbay is a demanding job with little reward. You'll be putting in a lot of hours if you join us and, in all likelihood, you'll be seeing some very messy things. You're dealing with actual lives here, and what you decide may very well be what stands between someone living or dying. However, we do have some experienced medical professionals to help you, and if we're training you, we're going to give you the best of the knowledge and experience we have. We'll make sure you're prepared.
Being a doctor or nurse takes dedication and a certain attitude. We'll probably be training you in emergency medical techniques to start out with because we get a lot of trauma-related injuries, more so than we do anything else. If you can't stand the sight of blood, this isn't the job for you. We'd rather have you changing the linens and mopping the floors if that's the case.
Like I said, it's going to take a lot of work on your part if you join us, but you will be involved in saving other lives. That's reward enough for those of us here now.
If you don't think you've got the time to put in on learning or doing shifts, we would still like to have some emergency staff who we could call in to help change the beds and bring meals to patients, help wash up, that sort of thing.
If you're interested, send me a video chat. I'll just have a few questions for you and some of the other medical staff may ask you a few of their own.

[video/filtered 30%]
May I ask a few questions of my own?
[video/filtered 30%]
Of me? Certainly, but I know little enough of the incident beyond what most have gleaned.
[video/filtered 30%]
Well, don't take this poorly, but I'm sort of wondering if there's a goal to all this? Are you just trying to be informed, or do you think we're dealing with a murder?
[video/filtered 30%]
[A slight, slightly measured pause.]
I think that every death deserves a full investigation, so even if I had few real suspicions I'd be giving this at least a cursory glance. So questions will never be out of the ordinary. But in this case...I will be altogether frank: yes. I believe it was a murder.

[ He's genuinely curious, and unconsciously pulls at his lower lip between thumb and forefinger. ]

[video/filtered 30%]
[ It is a compliment, a subtle, but sincere one. ]
Why do you believe it was murder?
[video/filtered 30%]
[He clears his throat and quite nearly flushes. Miles does not do very well with any compliments, let alone one that's saying something kind about something that's so important to him.]
Right, er - Yes. Murder. Because of the...timing, frankly. Because he'd just obtained highly sensitive information, and because so far as I can tell doors had never malfunctioned before that.
[video/filtered 30%]
A lot of people think it was Ward and Resnik. What do you think?

Even if there isn't any concrete evidence that it's hostile, it seems something to be wary of.
